15,206,400

In the 90s, Youssou N'Dour and Neneh Cherry had a great hit called "7 Seconds Away". In its chorus, these lines appear: "7 seconds away / Just as long as I stay / I'll be waiting / it's no a second . . .".

15,206,400 seconds away, is much longer than the 134 hostages wanted to stay.

Today, March 31st. marks the 176th day, since Oct. 7th, 2023.

Take a moment, and let this sink in.

Elderly people without proper or any medication. Young women are constantly sexually abused

What have you accomplished in the past 176 days?

What have you accomplished in the past 4,224 hours?

What have you accomplished in the past 253,440, minutes?

What have you accomplished in the past 15,206,400 seconds?

Can you imagine what these hostages are going through, every minute?

People who were abducted from their houses, from their beds, and in house shelters, were dragged to their worst nightmare, and have been living it since, not knowing if today is their last on earth.

How would you feel?

Elderly people without proper medication or any medication.

Young women are constantly sexually abused.

Mothers and their children, without a sign of life.

This is unacceptable!


Where are we going from here?

Now, the governments of the West, not the Iranian one which proliferates terror worldwide as a commodity, look at Gaza and say: “This can not continue. This humanitarian crisis is unacceptable”. I say, well do something. Don’t pressure Israel, which has a right to defend itself and its people, pressure the terrorists.

Freeze their global funds!

Freeze their global assets!

Arrests them on sight in every country of the world!

They are terrorists.

  • Have you asked yourselves, how come all the Palestinian terror leaders are millionaires and billionaires?
  • What business do they conduct that makes them so much money?

Not only have they attacked a sovereign state and still hold innocent civilians as hostages for 176 days, but they also brutally harm their own people. Daily.

Is that what the West is advocating for these days?

Hamas steals the aid provided to Gaza and resells it to the people for profit.

They are worse than thieves.

Hamas shoots every civilian who tries to get aid from the aid trucks, without going through Hamas.

Hamas rules Gaza by fear and terror.

Where is the world?

Fact: Hamas steals the aid provided to Gaza and resells it to the people for profit

In the past 150 days in which the IDF has been maneuvering in Gaza, Israel has been under constant attacks from Lebanon by Hizballah. Does that sound normal to anyone?

Israel did not ask for this war

  • 1,532 Israeli civilians were killed, most of them on Oct. 7th. massacre.
  • 14,969 Israelis were inured to date.
  • 597 IDF soldiers were killed to date, all leaving families behind.
  • 134 hostages in Gaza, many are feared dead.
  • 123,000 internally displaced Israeli civilians (including 43 communities in the north of Israel because of Hizballah).
  • Over 11,500 rockets fired at Israel to date.
  • Over 9,000 rockets fired from Gaza at Israel.
  • Attacks from Yemen on Israel by the Houthis.

Israel is doing its utmost to minimize civilian casualties, but war is an ongoing tragedy. Israel, to date, has:

  • Made 79,000 evacuation phone calls to Gazan civilians.
  • ?Dropped 7,200,000 leaflets to inform Gazan civilians.
  • Sent 13,700,000 text messages to Gazan civilians.
  • Send 15,000,000 recorded voice messages to Gazan civilians.

My Struggle in Arabic, as found in many houses and schools in Gaza


During this time, Israel has proven that Gaza under the Hamas regime, had turned into a full-blown terror enterprise, which utilizes all means at its disposal, not to build a civilized society, but to create a chaotic terror-spreading monster, which it unleashed on Israel and Gaza on the Oct. 7th.

Schools under UNRWA became tools of propaganda and hatred spread.

Hospitals were used as command-and-control posts, armories, data centers, and more. Just recently in a precise operation in El Shifa hospital, more than 175 terrorists were eliminated. This is a hospital that was cleared before by the IDF. Over 500 suspects were apprehended in the same hospital. This also led to the discovery of weapons caches and terrorist funds hidden within the hospital. The world has turned against Israel. In fact, Israel has created a new standard for Urban Warfare . Why Will No One Admit It??

Gaza under the Hamas regime, had turned into a full-blown terror and hatred spreading enterprise

Can you imagine this in a hospital near you?

Teachers, doctors, and other civil servants were dueling as Hamas terrorists, while their day jobs were used as cover. Some of them were proven kidnappers of our hostages. Some, are just plain terrorists.

Children were indoctrinated in summer camps to hate and kill their Israeli neighbors, and much more.

Rocket launchers were hidden in school yards, in kindergartens, in Hospitals and so on. Hamas was the ruler of Gaza since 2005. It did not have to hide. It was not forced to embed its military and terror infrastructure into the civilian fabric of life. It chose to do so.

They couldn’t care less about their own people. They are fanatics, with only one goal, to eliminate the state of Israel, by all means necessary. That’s it, and that’s all.


Is there a solution??

I think it’s time for an out-of-the-box solution.

It’s time for an international coalition to enter Gaza, and make sure that the civilian population gets the aid, food, and medical supplies it needs while ensuring that no one of these civilians is armed or dangerous.

Some believe Hamas cannot be eliminated, as it is an idea. Ideas can not be eliminated, they can be abandoned by their followers, theoretically. However, Hamas as a militant terror organization, can, and must be eradicated, and its leaders dealt with. The problem is the civilians. If the West wishes for fewer casualties, it can lend a hand to assist.

I am sure that the suggested solution, which can be a true win-win, will not be adopted by the West

What can be done?

A force of international observers should be created within 1-2 weeks. They should be dispatched to Gaza with a clear mandate. They are to make sure every civilian gets aid, and that the area is demilitarized. The population will move from the south to the north after being checked and vetted, and the uninvolved civilians will get all the assistance they need.

Then, the south will be evacuated from civilians, and Israel can finish the operation in Rafah while keeping Egypt informed. When there will be no civilians but only combatants to meet the IDF, there can be no complaints against Israel.

No sovereign state would accept the state of affairs as it is now. However, I am sure that the suggested solution, or any other along these lines, which can be a true win-win, will not be adopted by the West.

The only question is WHY?

?

Muslims, Christians, and Jews

According to a demographic study based on analysis of more than 3,000 censuses, surveys, and population registers, Christianity remains the world’s largest religion, with approximately 2.2 billion followers, comprising 32 percent of the world’s population as of 2024. It includes diverse denominations such as Catholicism, Protestantism, and Eastern Orthodoxy. Islam is the second-largest religion, with over 1.6 billion adherents (23 percent of the world’s population). Nearly 500 million Buddhists (7 percent) and 14 million Jews (0.2 percent) across the globe. ?It’s noteworthy that around 1.2 billion people globally identify as unaffiliated with any religion or hold Atheist beliefs, particularly prevalent in countries like China and Japan.

I truly believe that for a minority of 0.2% of the world's population, there can be one country out of the 192 countries in the world. ?
